Brisk Docs website generator
Brisk Docs is a package oriented documentation system that lets you write useful, interactive docs alongside your code. It is aimed at documenting packages in a mono-repo
Getting started
Start by installing Brisk Docs in your project
npm install @brisk-docs/websiteTo start your docs website locally:
npm run brisk devTo produce a static build of the website that can be statically hosted:
npm run brisk build && npm run brisk exportOrganising your documentation
Brisk Docs by default uses file and folder name conventions to find docs in your codebase and display them in a organised way.
Project level documentation
For guides and docs relating to your project or repository as a whole, Brisk Docs will display any Markdown or MDX files placed in the /docs folder at the top of your repository. This is a good place to put user guides, tutorials, contributor guidelines etc.
Package level documentation
Brisk Docs has first class support for multi-package repos. All packages found in the /packages directory of your project will have documentation generated automatically.
Read more about package documentation in our package documentation guide.
Using MDX
MDX means that we parse markdown a little differently, and treat jsx blocks as react components.
This means that you can write:
# Just a regular markdown package
import MyComponent from './src/myComponent'
<MyComponent>I could not be expressed just with markdown<.MyComponent>
Just some more _regular_ markdown here.
In addition to being able to render any markdown, brisk provides two components that can be used on any page without being imported.
They are <Props /> and <FileViewer /> - these are exports of pretty-proptypes and file-viewer
